Regular season

This season is remembered by fans as the one in which star forward Alexei Yashin chose to sit out due to a contract dispute. He was entering the final year of a five-year contract that he signed with Ottawa in 1995. However, Yashin demanded a significant pay raise following an impressive 1998–99 season and issued a deadline, stating that if the Senators did not offer him a new contract, or he would miss the entire season. The Senators opted not to sign him, and Yashin sat out the entire 1999–2000 season.

In Yashin's absence, Daniel Alfredsson was named captain, and, despite missing 25 games due to various injuries, he recorded 59 points—second only to Radek Bonk, who led the team with 60. Marian Hossa tied Shawn McEachern for the team lead in goals, with 29.

The Senators traded goaltender Damian Rhodes to the Atlanta Thrashers as part of a deal during the 1999 NHL Expansion draft, and acquired Patrick Lalime from the Mighty Ducks of Anaheim to split goaltending duties with Ron Tugnutt. Tugnutt had a subpar season by his standards, and was traded to the Pittsburgh Penguins for Tom Barrasso, a two-time Stanley Cup champion at the trade deadline.

Playoffs

Barrasso was the starting goalie going into the playoffs. However, it was a short stay for the goaltender, as the Senators were eliminated in six games in the first round by their provincial rivals, the Toronto Maple Leafs. The series was the first Ottawa–Toronto Stanley Cup series since 1922, when the original Senators defeated the St. Patricks in an NHL playoff.

Toronto was the higher seed and drew home ice advantage. The first five games were all won by the home team. The Maple Leafs won 4–2 in Game 6 at Ottawa to win the series four games to two.
